Composition, heart, and grit - with a keen eye for aesthetics. I shoot Nikon 35mm film & DSLR. I am always refining my craft and evolving my style. My passion and ambition drive my artistic goals and career expansion. I see the world through a dual lens: the refined eye of a UC Davis art studio graduate and the relentless work ethic of a field technician. My career has taken shape in arboriculture and natural resources, and my heart remains in visual arts. Because I’m currently building my freelance portfolio, you get a collaborator who is excited to experiment and dedicated to elevating your project with my best work!

San Francisco-Based Videographer for Startups & Tech Founders I work with early-stage and growth tech companies to produce cinematic, founder-led video content that drives narrative and builds brand. My clients include Open AI, Vercel, Y Combinator, Flourish Ventures, LlamaIndex, and Succinct. I’ve shot product explainers, investor teasers, launch videos, and team culture reels. I’m also the creator of Melo, a video podcast platform built for AI-powered search and discovery—so I understand the tech from both sides: creative and technical. If you're a founder, marketer, or operator building something ambitious and need a videographer that gets tech, let’s talk.

I'm Chris Poremba and I'm a videographer, video editor, and photographer. I've worked for such brands as Lenovo, Adobe, USC, and many other local companies and non-profits in Los Angeles. I try to make the video production process as easy and efficient as possible for all my clients, and I am extremely communicative and responsive. I worked full-time as the lead videographer for a battery manufacturer in LA, and now I freelance full-time. Most of my videography work includes events and interviews, but I've also shot product videos, social media content, and more. I also have tons of experience creating and editing content for YouTube, and have worked for multiple different channels, some small, and other with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Reach out anytime!
